Tony Garnier City Museum
Tony Garnier Urban Museum is a creation launched, in 1985 with a
large scale rehabilitation project for a housing estate located East of
Lyon, called “quartier des Etats-Unis” (Etats-Unis district).
As soon as 1988, a group of inhabitants gathered into a non profit
organization, “Le Comité des locataires” (Tenants Committee), wish
that murals be painted on 24 walls of the buildings built by the
famous architect Tony Garnier between 1920 and 1933. More
information…
They contact a group of artists, Cité de la Création. To pay a tribute to
this outstanding architect, the artists design an innovative and
unusual museography. A monumental work of art will introduce to the
visitors a key period in the history of urban planning and architecture,
in a place built by its author: Tony Garnier.

I realy recommand to visit this district of Lyon that is not the traditionnal
center of Lyon that every body know or want to discover.
This is like a suburbs, what with a different way of life.
Tony Garnier never built his "ideal city" but this place was built as the
begining of it.
